Clydel is an uncommon yet distinctive given name of unknown origin and uncertain meaning. It appears to have been used sparingly throughout history, with no significant cultural or linguistic associations. The name Clydel consists of three syllables: 'Cli', 'del', and 'e'. It begins with a hard 'C' sound followed by the long 'i' as in 'machine', then transitions to a soft 'd' as in 'day', and ends with the short 'e' sound as in 'bet'. Phonetically, it can be represented as /ˈklaɪdəl/. The name Clydel does not have any obvious rhyming words or associated phrases. It has no traditional nicknames or variants, though creative individuals might devise their own unique shortenings or alternate spellings.
No further namesakes followed after 1929.
